InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM3

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM3 is a high-performance patch cable engineered for reliable and fast data transmission in modern network environments. Featuring an OM3 multi-mode fiber type with a 50/125µm core diameter and equipped with standard LC and SC connectors, this duplex cable facilitates seamless connections between network devices, switchboards, and telecommunication systems. The construction utilizes halogen-free LSZH materials, ensuring low smoke emission in the event of fire, while the turquoise outer jacket allows for quick identification within crowded server racks and patch panels.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable provides dependable signal integrity and high-speed data transfer rates suitable for demanding network infrastructures. The inclusion of dual LC and SC connectors ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware. Built with a robust 3.0mm dual-cable design and premium OM3 multi-mode fiber, it supports efficient bandwidth distribution over short to medium distances. The low smoke zero halogen jacket enhances safety in enclosed installation spaces, and each cable comes with an individual test report verifying its quality.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in enterprise environments
• Linking telecommunication equipment in server rooms and data centers
• Establishing reliable patch connections in fiber optic distribution frames
• Upgrading local area networks to OM3 multi-mode standards

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for long-distance outdoor installations or direct burial without additional protective conduit. Furthermore, the 0.5-meter length limits its use strictly to connections between devices positioned closely together, such as equipment within the same rack or adjacent server units.

How to use

Before installation, inspect the connectors for dust or debris and clean them using appropriate optical fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Remove the protective dust caps from both the LC and SC connectors. Align the connector carefully with the corresponding port on your network device, switchboard, or transceiver module, and push gently until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius and avoid applying excessive pulling tension during routing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the connector types required by your network equipment to ensure compatibility with LC and SC interfaces
• Check the required distance between connected devices to confirm that the 0.5-meter length is sufficient
• Confirm that your existing infrastructure supports OM3 multi-mode fiber specifications

Always route fiber optic cables with adequate slack and avoid sharp bends to maintain optimal signal performance and prevent permanent damage to the glass core.
